Sassanna
Sassanna was painting the back porch,
in the early afternoon.
I opened the window, hot air flowed in.
Carried the smell of both soup
and nearby garbage.
Singing and pissing on a bluebricked wall,
lit by moonlight.

I love the picture Sassana paints. a bit of grit here and it's like the beginning of a movie I want to watch!!
